Kiper's Mock 3.0: Steelers

[RuthlessBurgher]

i just dont see hageman being the pick with JJ and now with worilds $.
even being a sparty fan, would pass on dennard at 15 but take gilbert.

Ra'Shede Hageman is a 6'6" 310 lbs DT who would be a replacement for Hood/Keisel as a DE in our 3-4, so I'm not sure what Jarvis Jones and Jason Worilds (our 3-4 OLB's) have to do with whether or not we'd take Hageman.

what makes you say that?

i think dennard does his best work playing on his man, not 10 yards off. just think gilbert fits our scheme better.
loved him at MSU

Mosley=Evans in ability to give a quick return. If I hadn't read the article about big WR I would bet Mosley. Now, not sure the Steelers would pass on Evans.

I'm not big on Mosley. Highly touted Alabama ILB's of recent vintage haven't exactly lived up to their billing in the NFL. Dont'a Hightower hasn't exactly lit the world on fire in New England and Rolando McClain has been a disastrous bust who is out of the league at age 24. Truly special ILB prospects like Luke Kuechly and Patrick Willis who are worth an early first round picks are few and far between. Most years, the top ILB prospects are second round picks like James Laurinaitis and Paul Posluzny who are solid starters but not exactly elite. I would consider Mosley to be closer to the latter group than the former (solid but not exactly special).

I honestly can't see Dennard getting past the Lions...hate to say it. With them signing Tate, they will pass on Evans. Just a feeling.

I don't think Mosley is worth the 15th pick in this draft. I would like him about 10 picks later. I have never seen him as dominant.

duh, my bad

Do you think they did so when they took Troy Edwards? Nope. Not at all.

Are you kidding me? That was 15 years ago. Not even the same GM or head coach.

^^^^^^so jj was tops on the list last year but drafting him had nothing to do with the fact harrison left and we had a huge need at olb?
bell was rated higher than anybody else available in round 2 and was picked but rb wasnt a need?
those 2 picks must have been a coincident.

Didn't JH leave after the draft?

I think Bell was probably rated that high by the staff. Good production, pass catcher out of the backfield, ran well behind a crappy line. Seems like a logical pick at that point in rd 2.

Harrison released March 9, so that was pre draft. Seemed later in the year.

it was also highly publicized that sean lee was a 1st round grade for the steelers. but they picked worldis in the 2nd round instead of him (not that im a big Lee fan).
just adding to your list



i think you can include timmons there as well
